Two lorries were blown over by the wind as bad weather swept across Scotland on Tuesday morning.
The HGVs were travelling along the A1 when the incident happened between Innerwick and Skateraw in East Lothian at around 7.45am, leaving the road blocked in both directions.
Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were at the scene but there were no reports of any injuries.
A statement on the Christmas Market's website read: "This entry will be regularly updated to reflect the status of rides and attractions at Edinburgh's Christmas as a result of inclement weather.
"Please note, weather conditions change quickly and although every effort is made to ensure this page is accurate and up-to-date there will be a time delay between closer/opening of rides and this page being updated."
The A1 remains closed to high-sided vehicles from Old Craighall Junction to Berwick-upon-tweed, Traffic Scotland said.
Waves coming over the sea wall at Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, affected railway power lines, causing trains between Kilwinning and Largs and Ardrossan to be cancelled.
Flooding closed the line between Craigendoran and Helensburgh.
The UK is likely to avoid Storm Brendan on Tuesday despite weather warnings for wind remaining in place for parts of the country, the Met Office has said.
The South West of England and Wales were hit with gales of up to 70mph over the weekend after Storm Atiyah first hit Ireland on Sunday.
Trees were felled by the gusts, which also caused power faults in the South West and Wales.
Dundee City Council closed due to power failure
Dundee City Council's headquarters have been closed today due to a power failure.
In a series of tweets, the council said: "Limited customer services will be available for emergencies only, and can be contacted via 01382 434343.
"We are also encountering disruption to our IT systems today. This includes the council's website and those of partner agencies, email and some internal systems.
SEPA said: "A band of persistent and heavy rain is again affecting large parts of western, southern, and central Scotland. This is currently causing surface water flooding affecting the transport network.
"Localised flooding is also possible from rivers responding to the heavy rainfall throughout the day. Typical impacts could include localised flooding of low lying land, roads, and individual properties, and disruption to travel."
Train services via Glasgow Central are facing disruption after damage to overhead wires, ScotRail said.
